6 Ways To Save An Endangered Classic Car |
 We've compiled a short list of 6 tips that enthusiasts can take to ensure classic cars are preserved for future generations. With so many once popular models disappearing from roads in the last decade, many formerly popular models from numerous classic marques now number in the low hundreds, and are continuing to decline. We encourage the classic car community and those new to classic car ownership to help save these cars. But how can classic car enthusiasts go about buying, owning and saving one of these now rare cars? 1. Buy one of these cars! Many of these cars are relatively affordable in comparison to more exotic classics. There’s a wealth of buying options out there, whether buying locally, at auction, buying privately, online or from a dealer but whatever option you go for buy the best you can afford and check the history file. 2. Join a car club. Car clubs such as the JCNA are a great way to meet like-minded classic car fans, show off your pride and joy and even get discounts on parts and accessories. 3. Store the car correctly. It can’t be ignored, classic cars can be high maintenance and fragile items. However, given correct care and attention they can and should be easy to live with. The best place to leave a car is a dry, airy barn. Wood or brick garages are preferable to pre-cast concrete units, which tend to “sweat” in very cold conditions. One way to avoid the damp problem is to use an inflatable plastic tent, using fans to keep air moving inside. 4. Use marque and model specialists. When sourcing new parts, repairing or restoring a car, servicing and other maintenance try to use marque and model specialists who will be able to give you expert support, particularly on rarer models. 5. Use it. Classic cars are there to be enjoyed so get out and drive it! Seeing these cars out on the road is fantastic way to promote them. Equally if you’re driving it regularly you’re more likely to keep it in a roadworthy state. 6. Insure the car with a reputable Classic Car-centric Insurance company that understands the siginificance and importance of these vehicles. |
